Used Replacement Wheels
{
CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has
been used or how far it has been driven. It
could fail suddenly and cause a crash. If
you have to replace a wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{
CAUTION:
If your vehicle has dual wheels or
P265/75R16, LT265/75R16, P265/70R17 or
P275/55R20 size tires, do not use tire
chains. They can damage your vehicle
because there is not enough clearance.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Tire chains used on a vehicle without the
proper amount of clearance can cause
damage to the brakes, suspension or
other vehicle parts. The area damaged by
the tire chains could cause you to lose
control of your vehicle and you or others
may be injured in a crash.
Use another type of traction device
only if its manufacturer recommends
it for use on your vehicle and tire size
combination and road conditions. Follow
that manufacturer’s instructions. To help
avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly,
readjust or remove the device if it is
contacting your vehicle, and do not spin
your vehicle’s wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit,
install them on the rear tires.
